“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Iraq votes

Iraq's latest referendum vote seemed to go off without a hitch, with early speculation at a 61% turnout.

Congrats to everyone who participated and our troops and theirs for keeping it relatively peaceful. Hopefully it will serve to unite the country in democracy and not pull it apart in civil war.

*UPDATE* Wesley Clark: "I wish this were the end of the story in Iraq, but it isn't."
